61. Are we to believe...
Gene ,   Raleigh, USA   (07.11.09)
that this is some new program? Anyone with a ounce of brain would assume all the hasbara through the years is paid bs from a psychotic State.
62. #27 Thoma
Sam ,   La Quinta, CA, USA   (07.11.09)
I am trying to find the list, but cannot?? where is it exactly? Masada2000.com does not seem to have that list, or most probably I am not looking where I SHOULD BE LOOKING? Thanks
63. i do that already
Zionist Juice ,   tlv   (07.11.09)

64. This plays RIGHT into the hands of all Israel haters.

65. YOU ERR IN UNDERSTANDING !!!.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (07.11.09)
Foreign Ministry officials are fighting what they see as a terrible and scary monster: the Palestinian public relations monster. Yet nothing can be done to defeat it, regardless of how many foolish inventions will be introduced and how many bright communication students will be hired. THE SCARY MONSTER HERE IS THE EVIL ONE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GOD IS DONE BY ISRAEL, THE EVIL ONE WILL SEIZE ANY AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY, TO ACCUSE ISRAEL OF WRONGDOING. THAT IS WHY MOST ACCUSATIONS SEEMS TO BE WITHOUT SOUND REASON AND LOGIC. THIS IS BECAUSE THE ISRAELIS IS THE CHOSEN PEOPLE OF JEHOWAH, AND THE SCARY ONE, THE ADVERSARY OF JEHOWAH, WILL TAKE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE REVENGE ON HIS PEOPLE. YOU ARE FACING A SPIRITUAL ADVESARY WHO WANT TO DESTROY YOU, AND IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU WILL LOSE. Orao.
66. Its OK for Israels Critics to be funded by the EU
dmgold ,   Pardes Channa Israel   (07.11.09)
What a twisted and sad anti Jew interpretation. Its OK FOR ALL OF ISRAELS CRITICS, PALESTINIAN, LEFT WING SELF HATING JEWS IN ISRAEL AND BLATANT ANTI JEW ORGANISATIONS OVERSEAS TO BE FUNDED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION, THE UN AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL BODIES, BUT NOT OK FOR ISRAEL TO PLAY FINALLY IN THE GAME BEING PLAYED AGAINST IT, RONA KUPERBOIM, ISRAEL IS FINALLY PLAYING YOUR GAME AND YOU DONT LIKE PL:AYING ON AN EVEN PLAYING FEILD. SHAME ON YOU AND ALL YOUR JEW HATING KIND.
67. I've been defending Israel for years now..
AJ ,   Raalte   (07.11.09)
... and like many others - of course - for free! It's a good though very late in the day and inadequate initiativ, IMO. Moreover, limiting participants to "young" people with the "apropriate" skills and diploma's seems counterproductive to me. It's the older, (semi-)retired people who have the time to hang out on the different websites and give the assorted antisemites hell on the talk-back threads.
68. #9 from Slovenia: Right on!
(07.11.09)
69. SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY
Moreno David ,   Ashdod Israel   (07.11.09)
Thanks Rona for that tip - yes I now have a full-time job counteracting people like you. It may be the way that you were brought up, or are you naive? When they dance on the roofs as a busload of our women and children blows up, remember that it could be your legs being amputated in the next attack. You would be well advised to listen to them in Arabic so that you understand that your end is in the sea if you sleep with the enemy,Your moderate Arab friends will be killed as Hamas gets the opportunity (see Gaza) . Face facts whilst there is still time.
70. to #53 Hypocrisy?
Dahlia ,   USA   (07.11.09)
War crimes?? Self defense is not a war crime, but deliberately firing missiles on civilians is. You need to move to Sdrerot and then talk about war crimes. Just a reminder for you, if the Arabs did not cause the Six Day War, there wouldn't have a "kibush", now would it? AND, if the Palestinians stopped trying to kill Israelis, there would be no need of "oppression".
71. #53, no just Ha'aretz and others
Danny   (07.11.09)
are paid to whitewash the war crimes of Hamas and Hizbollah and virtually every single one of our enemies. Wierd then they feel the need to resort to lying and fraud when talking about Israel
72. #55 - Are you mentally ill?
Joseph ,   The entire world   (07.11.09)
Either that or ur one of those payed to post trash on talkbacks. Who else would claim that dead babies are actually dolls covered in fake blood? Is this how low zionism has taken you? So all the families that have lost children are lying as well? Wow, zionists are truly a lost cause. You dont need any Arab enemies because zionists are their own enemies and will be the cause of their own fall. By the way, now u want to use the mizrahis for propaganda purposes but keep them as the low class of israel.. Mizrahi jews should go back to their native countries if they have any self-respect in them, enough playing this "i am israeli charade" as it was only a project and these arab/persian/turkish/kurdish and other orient jews were only used for show off to portray some dark skinned people as we all know the ancient israelites werent white like the ashkenazis/sefardim yet despite this they were given the lowest position in the israeli society after kicking out the natives of Palestine and bringing in people from all over the world to participate in this charade sponsered by fanatic evangelists who have their own agenda in keeping the zionist state alive and it has nothing to do with helping jews. Zionism is an secular etheist ideology, not jewish.
73. Rona Kuperboim
Joe ,   Israel   (07.11.09)
Things would be a little bit better if the Jewish Left would be more concerned about the Jews that are being murdered and terrorised instead of worrying so much about the Arabs that are perpetrating these murders and terrorist acts. Israel never started the killing and destruction. It was always the Arabs. But people like Rona tend to forget this. The Arabs do not want peace with Israel, they want to destroy Israel and kill every Jewish man, woman and child. Wake up Rona and look at the truth for once.
74. you gotta be kidding me
Andrew ,   New York   (07.11.09)
there is nothing wrong with having people support their country. While I hope the government wouldn't have to do it, it is now necessary, given the hate we see. I urge all who support this campaign to go to dailykos.com and take on the Israel haters.
75. #62 SAM La Quinta, CA
Thomas ,   USA - Louisiana   (07.12.09)
I posted an incorrect URL, sorry for that. http://www.masada2000.org/ is the correct address. On the left side, Lesson #21/D is the List. This URL will lead you to the Alphabetic order. http://www.masada2000.org/list-F.html
76. Finally the Gov't is getting Smart!!!
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (07.12.09)
What is this Rona Kuperboim talking about? Did someone beat her with a stupid stick? Doesn't she get the difference between thought police and defending our country from libel and hatred? What a moron.
77. Rona
Lisa ,   UK   (07.12.09)
Palestinians/Arabs cannot negotiate with Zionists. Inherent in Zionism is the denial of Palestinians' right to live in Palestine as non Jews. It is the denial of the naqbah and the oppresion & continuing violence used to create, maintain and expand the state of 'Israel'. One state, equal rights for all. Anything less is insulting & unacceptable. You can find all the self-deluding capitulating Arabs around the Middle East to negotiate with, but nothing will work. It is against human nature to be abused, mistreated and to live on one's knees perpetually without fighting back.
78. #77, work that propaganda
Danny   (07.12.09)
Nearly a quarter of Israeli citizens are non-jews. There are major-generals who are not jews, supreme court justices who are not jews, MPs who are not jews, ministers who are not jews. In fact - as far as I am aware the only institution that does not accept non-jews is the Mossad. Compare and contrast with the UK - how many ethnic minorities are senior members of the Cabinet? How many high court judges? How many senior members of the army or security forces? If I am black, am i more or less likely to get "randomly" by the UK police? What is ironic is that the Palestinians DO explicitly have in their constitution the expulsion of all jews - in the case of "moderate" PLO those and their families who arrived after 1917, in the case of Hamas all of them. What is also ironic is that Israel hasn't "expanded" since being threatened and attacked in 1967. In fact it has shrunk, dramatically. As for denial, not only was the Palestinian refugee problem first academically researched by Israelis but it is also part of the Israeli curriculum. Compare and contrast the denial of Jewish expulsion by the Palestinians, compare and contrast the denial of the Holocaust by arabs - especially the PLO, Iran, Hizbollah and Hamas. Weird that none of your criticism of Israel is accurate but change Israeli and Palestinian and Zionism for Palestinian nationalism around in your rant and it is precisely on the nose.
79. Troll
John Smith ,   USA   (07.12.09)
Eran, how much did they pay for that post you made. I want to gets sum of that cash too...
80. Cannot understand why author gets so worked up.
leo ,   USA   (07.12.09)
Propaganda is part of any war. Especially nova days. Does author seriously believe that lies spread about Israel and Jews must be left unanswered? I personally do what I can and everywhere I can. Money is not required but wouldn't hurt either, for it is time consuming process and I have to eat the same as the author.
81. #77, you need to find another excuse
Dahlia ,   USA   (07.12.09)
or stop whining. Muslims already have 57 countries, Jews only have one. Palestinians already have Jordan which was created as a Palestinian state. How many more do they want? They don't really care, they just hope that by returning to Israel and with a high birth rate, Israel will cease to exist. By the way, Nakba was caused by six Arab countries attacking Israel in 1948 and creating the refugee issue by urging Arabs to flee from the battle fields. If they had won then, would you demand Jews be restored to their rightful lands now? Probably not, because there wouldn't have been any Jews left alive. It is the Arabs responsibility to solve the Palestinian problem since they created it in first pace.
82. Extra-strength Advil is such a wonderful adventure
Ypip ,   Canada   (07.13.09)
83. I am glad I am on the other side of the world to you guys...
Tom ,   Wgtn, New Zealand   (07.13.09)
..because your attitude scares the shit out of me. Utterly crazy, the lot of you. So sad to see.
84. #80, because she wants a monopoly
Danny   (07.13.09)
how can she continuously bad-mouth Israel if her views are challenged? The anti-Israeli case is so flimsy that it only works when the other side isn't able to present any part of their case
85. before more than20 ys
nisma ,   jerusalem   (07.13.09)
my son was 9 ys told me that --i want internett it is to know evry thing by questioning through the telephon but it cost to much money --- i laughed and now i laugh again he did not say it is to tell what ever you want .. sure in the first it was trusted than these days
86. israel favor? what about human favor?
d ,   somewhere   (07.13.09)
87. You Know You've Lost The PR War When You Have To Pay
World Citizen ,   the world   (07.13.09)
Israel and it supporters have had the Western MSM in their pockets for a very long time. But the MSM is quickly becoming irrelevant. And since the zionists can't control the flow of internet news coming out of the Middle East they now have to resort to paying people to "gin up" the reputation of Israel. But it is a hopeless cause. You cannot put lipstick on a pig to make look any better. It is still a pig. If Israel wants to really improve its image how about some honest negotiations for a viable, contiguous Palestinian state? And before you paid spinmeisters start the endlessly repeated canard that "We tried to give them a Palestinian state but they wanted more crap".... don't ! That is a bald faced lie. Israel has never bargained in good faith on this issue.
88. Spreading info and facts
Arturo ,   Cadiz, Spain   (07.14.09)
All those eager to join the info-squad, thank-you. You will no doubt tell the world about how the state in Israel deliberately destroyed and tried to murder everybody onboard USS Liberty, and how the Lavon Affair terrorist-plot was planned and executed? Those two just to start the list. The world is eager to hear the truth, so thank-you again for your support.
89. #88, fine example
Danny   (07.14.09)
USS liberty? Lavon affair? That the best you can do?
90. Israel's internal warfare
Marie Mirabeau ,   Tours. France   (07.15.09)
Yet a pathetic move from the Israeli government. It shows that panic is spreading among the top administration of a country who sees its international image be degraded after each scandalous measure it takes.
